Event details

We don't think twice about taking a rest after vigorous physical activity, yet many of us are reluctant to take a break after an extended period of mental effort.

According to the science this could not be more wrong. Taking breaks is vital to high quality performance whatever sphere of activity you're engaged in.

This webinar from the Bank Workers Charity explores the frequency and lengths of breaks you should be taking to ensure high levels of wellbeing and productivity during your working day.
